More Favorite Hymns - Like a River Glorious

I purchased a couple of CD's from Sovereign Grace Ministries recently. One of these was Upward: The Bob Kauflin Hymn Project. This is a wonderful CD with new renditions of some great old hymns. One of the hymns is Like a River Glorious. Below are the original words to that hymn.

Like a River Glorious

Like a river gloriousIs God’s perfect peace,Over all victoriousIn its bright increase;Perfect, yet it flowethFuller ev’ry day,Perfect, yet it growethDeeper all the way.

Stayed upon Jehovah,Hearts are fully blest—Finding, as He promised,Perfect peace and rest.

Hidden in the hollowOf His blessed hand,Never foe can follow,Never traitor stand;Not a surge of worry,Not a shade of care,Not a blast of hurryTouch the spirit there.

Stayed upon Jehovah,Hearts are fully blest—Finding, as He promised,Perfect peace and rest.

Ev’ry joy or trialFalleth from above,Traced upon our dialBy the Sun of Love;We may trust Him fullyAll for us to do—They who trust Him whollyFind Him wholly true.

Stayed upon Jehovah,Hearts are fully blest—Finding, as He promised,Perfect peace and rest.
